14 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • 2 Tablespoons Cold Butter
  • 1/2 cups Cold Buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Coarse Sugar (I Used Turbinado), For Sprinkling On Donuts

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 6-cavity donut pan with non-stick spray
  2. 2
    Whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, mix the butter into the dry ingredients, just until the mixture looks like wet sand. Set aside.
  3. 3
    Mix the buttermilk, vanilla and egg together. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  4. 4
    Pipe or spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan.
  5. 5
    Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. The donuts will lightly spring back when touched when they are done.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle turbinado sugar on the donuts as they are cooling.
  7. 7
    As gingerbread does, these donuts get sticky after a while. I would recommend eating all of them on the day that they are baked.
